North Carolina is home to close to one million immigrants, and the economic impacts of unlawful Border Patrol and ICE raids are evident as small businesses across the Triangle have closed for extended periods of time.
Some of the new laws passed the NC General Assembly with bipartisan support, others saw resistance from Democrats and have even been vetoed by Governor Josh Stein, though GOP lawmakers were able to override his vetoes.
The updated map targets the state’s lone competitive district, over 20 counties in northeastern North Carolina, which has elected Black members of Congress for more than three decades.
The nonprofits – Rebuild Haywood, the Western North Carolina Conference of United Methodist Churches, and The Beacon Network – will focus on projects such as installing insulation, wrapping windows, and repairing roofs on homes damaged by the storm.

Earlier this year, the Republican-led legislature in North Carolina eliminated the state’s carbon emissions reduction target for 2030 and allowed Duke Energy to charge consumers for the cost of gas and nuclear power plants before they are even operational.
Business owners and residents have said that Whatley has rarely been seen in impacted areas, and over 100 residents have requested that Whatley be removed from the FEMA council for not delivering on his promises to help the area. North Carolina has received only roughly 9% of the funding needed to recover from the devastation left by Hurricane Helene.
Whatley, a longtime D.C. insider and former Big Oil lobbyist, held his kickoff event in the nation’s capital with wealthy donors and special interests — a move his critics say underscores where his priorities lie. Murdock and Graybill argue that while Whatley courts billionaires, North Carolinians are left to deal with the consequences of his record and policies.
A three-judge panel is set to hear arguments regarding the map on November 17th. If legal challenges fail and Republicans are able to rig the vote to elect a Republican in the 1st district, Republicans will have control of 11 of North Carolina’s 14 congressional districts.
Despite small business owners and industry leaders highlighting the negative impact of Trump’s tariffs, Republicans have been vocal supporters. In an interview, North Carolina Senate candidate Michael Whatley called Trump’s trade war “record-setting in terms of effectiveness” and said he supports it “wholeheartedly”.
North Carolina is one of the twenty states that have filed the suit against FEMA, and it is not the state’s first lawsuit against the agency. Back in July, North Carolina sued FEMA for canceling $200 million in grants that would’ve helped with climate resiliency projects.
“Los miembros de la Asamblea General han tenido seis meses para actuar y resolver este problema. Pero han fallado. Han fallado a Carolina del Norte. Han fallado a su gente. Y ahora se han ido de la ciudad hasta el próximo año. Es vergonzoso”, declaró Stein.
“La fuerza de Charlotte y del condado de Mecklenburg proviene de su gente: familias que vienen de todos los rincones del mundo y han construido aquí sus vidas, negocios y futuros. A nuestros vecinos inmigrantes: no están solos y pertenecen aquí.”
